Originally launching last year, Pokemon Lazarus is an ambitious ROM hack making use of the Game Boy Color style graphics of the creator's previous hack, Emerald Seaglass, with an entirely new region and story. In the year since launching Lazarus has had a lot of attention and player feedback, with the 2.0 update taking some of this on-board, alongside adding new Mega Evolutions and fixing bugs that existed in the previous release. You can find the announcement video below:

​

Though largely focusing on the 2.0 update, the end of the video did feature a surprise announcement for Pokemon Alola Seaglass, alongside an image of the titular region in the style of Emerald Seaglass. No release date was provided, but we'll try to keep you posted as more information on the project emerges.

The latest patch can be downloaded from Nemo622's Ko-fi page, with you optionally being able to donate if you want to tip the creator. Along with the patch, extensive documentation is available outlining progression rewards, changes, encounters, and a small assortment of cheat codes.

i never played any romhacks... i hate when its so much boring dialogues and no creative Level/World/game design.

Then that means RPGs are not your cup of tea. All RPGs have dialogue, so if you hate dialogue, go playing platformer games instead.

I played Red/Blue and Gold/Silver, and i Love These gens.
I want romhacks with similar pacing with No much exposition

I can't recommend you any. Just play ROM hacks of something else entirely (that is not Final Fantasy or similar of course).

Well at the most basic level, you could look into enhancement hacks for the games you already enjoy, or hacks that just remake the games you enjoy.

Heart and Soul is a fine example, being a stellar Johto port in the Emerald engine:

Meh, other than the aesthetics, this rom hack is pretty bland. There are plenty of more interesting ones imo.

if I hear the use of Direct Sound or anything like that and not strictly using what the GameBoy part of the Audio, im going to be mad since the looks of it is supposed to be all about looking like the GBC.

Just started it a while ago and I'm quite enjoying it so far.
Didn't really like the default protagonist appearance, but that's a really minor issue since we can use other outfits, really enjoyed the Zelda themed ones.

The quest system seems pretty neat as well.
There are some stuff that I'm not really fond of, but they're minor non-issues. While not much, I did try to support it with 5$.

This seems pretty cool. Does it work on real hardware?

Yes, it does.

I like the look of the UI and text but I'm not completely hooked in yet unlike Unbound.

I'm excited to give this a shot, ROM hacks are the reason i got my Analogue Pocket, and it has been pretty great for this kind of stuff.
